Deadline
1

hey Guys,

we are running deadline 6 (yes i know…) and upgrading to 8 now.
Our slaves and repo are in place, submission to the repo8 works no problem.

but the slaves fail to launch any renders.
they pickup the job and then fail

Any ideas? my hunch is a python path or something missing. we tried reinstalling dl8.

Well, for the time being, see about removing your custom script from “\DEADLINE\Repo8\custom\plugins\Nuke” to see if things are working properly as a stop-gap.

Considering ManagedProcess is a built-in it might be that the imports have changed and I don’t remember. Here’s what we’ve got for 8.1 at the moment:

import re
import os
from shutil import copyfile
from System import *
from System.Diagnostics import *
from System.IO import *
from System.Text import *
from System.Text.RegularExpressions import *
from Deadline.Plugins import *
from Deadline.Scripting import *
from FranticX.Processes import *
